Can I Have This Dance

Let me start out by saying that I've always had this crazy wish to be able to dance really well. This song that I'm about to go over compares dancing to love. I know that it might be stupid to some of you that this particular song is from High School Musical 3.

Can I Have This Dance

Take my hand, take a breath
Pull me close and take one step
Keep your eyes locked on mine,
And let the music be your guide.
Won't you promise me
(now won't you promise me, that you'll never forget)
We'll keep dancing
(to keep dancing)
wherever we go next
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance
(can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
Take my hand, I'll take the lead
And every turn will be safe with me
Don't be afraid, afraid to fall
You know I'll catch you through it all
And you can't keep us apart
(even a thousand miles, can't keep us apart)
'Cause my heart is
(cause my heart is)
wherever you are
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance
(can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
Oh no mountains too high and no oceans too wide
'Cause together or not, our dance won't stop
Let it rain, let it pour
What we have is worth fighting for
You know I believe, that we were meant to be
It's like catching lightning the chances of finding someone like you
(like you)
It's one in a million, the chances of feeling the way we do
(way we do)
And with every step together, we just keep on getting better
So can I have this dance
(can I have this dance)
Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance
Can I have this dance

Now this is sung by the two main characters Troy(Zac Efron) and Gabriella(Vanessa Hudgens). They describe that each step of love and life is like a step in a dance. You might have to do it several times, but each time it gets better. They keep asking each other "Can I have this dance?" and this is saying that they want to be part of the others dance or life. Troy says that's Gabriella shouldn't be afraid to fall and that he'll catch her. The chorus is very true about lighting and the chance of finding the true love that they have found. The dance won't end even when they are apart because as long as they play a role in the other's life, the dance will continue until the end.
As for the vocals, I know that alot of it can be altered, but I think that the couple sings very well together. Their voices match each other in harmony and that's a good thing. Especially since in the movie, they're supposed to be in true love. The music is very thought out. They have thunder rolling in the background for the role of lighting and rain mentioned throughout the song. The acoustic guitar is very distinct to keep the beat in there. Strings are introduced slowly into the song and it's almost unheard because it just creeps in there. The piano really plays for the trickling of rain. It's just small keys played here and there and they are high notes played.
I find this song quite inspiring. It's funny how some of these songs can come in the silliest forms.
